The North-South divide is a socio-economic and political division categorization of countries which globalization in the world has two sides. The Global North o Generally, the Global North include the G8 countries, the United States, Canada, all member states of the European Union, Israel, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, as well as Australia and New Zealand and four of the 71  NGEC 0723 The Contemporary World five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, excluding China. o The North is mostly correlated with the Western world and the First World, plus much of the Second World. o The North of the Divide comprises countries which have developed economies and account for over 90% of all manufacturing industries in the world. Although these countries account for only one-quarter of the total global population, they control 80% of the total income earned around the world. The Global South o The Global South is an emerging term used by the World Bank to refer to low- and middle-income countries located in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. o The Global South is made up of Africa, Latin America, and developing Asia, including the Middle East, and is home to the BRIC countries (excluding Russia): Brazil, India, and China, which, along with Indonesia, are the largest Southern states. o An important characteristic of countries in the South is the relatively low GDP and the high population. Another common characteristic of the countries in the South is the lack of basic amenities. As little as 5% of the population is able to access basic needs such as food and shelter. The Problem of Global Inequality o Social Differentiation – a process in which people are set apart for differential treatment by virtue of their statuses, roles, and other social characteristics. o Social Inequality – a condition in which people have unequal wealth, power, and prestige. (e.g., The people in the global south) o Based on GDP per capita, the nations of the world can be divided into three major strata: the core, the semi-periphery, and the periphery: 72  NGEC 0723 The Contemporary World ❖ The Core ▪ Nations that compromise the core are mostly in the global north such as, U.S., Germany, France, Australia, U.K., France, the Scandinavia, and others. ▪ Also, South Korea and Japan are included even though they are in Global South because of the GNP per capita. ❖ Semi-periphery ▪ Nations such as Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and Taiwan, are comparable to the middle class. They are moving toward industrialization. ❖ Periphery ▪ Poor nation such as Haiti, Bangladesh, Ethiopia that resemble the lower and working classes. They are poor and powerless. Enhancement Activity.
